How do transposable elements and short tandem repeats (STRs) differ? a. STRs occur within exons; transposable elements occur wit

hin introns. b. STRs occur within introns; transposable elements occur within exons. c. STRs make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a given genome. d. The repeated unit in STRs is much larger than the repeated unit of transposable elements.

Transposable elements and short tandem repeats are different because short tandem repeats make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a genome. So the correct option is C.

<h3>What are transposable elements? </h3>

Transposable elements or transposons are a class of genetic elements. They can  “jump” from one location to another, in a genome.

Even though they are called “jumping genes,” they have an integrated site in a genome and are maintained there. Also, most of them are eventually inactivated and can not move any longer.

Whereas Short tandem repeats or STRs are short repeats of DNA. They are also known as microsatellites or simple sequence repeats. They have a repetitive unit of 1-6 bp and form a series of 100 nucleotide lengths.

Therefore the correct option C.

Why is the ability of the cell membrane to be "picky" important?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

It is very important for the cell membrane to be <em>semi-permeable</em> because the ability to pick and choose what comes in and out of the cell keeps the cell safe! The membrane can choose to block out nasty germs and can also choose to get rid of internal waste.

An example of when this is important is in this scenario:

Let's say the cells are in a really salty solution. Naturally, salt will want to pull the water out of the cell. If the membrane <u>wasn't</u><u> </u> semi permeable, the water would listen to the salt and leave the cell. This would cause cell death. <u>BECAU</u><u>SE</u> the membrane is semi permeable, they can choose <em>not</em> to give the salt any water, keeping them alive

Hope this helps

What might be the result if you shuffle the order of bases in an organism's DNA<br> molecules?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

It would have disastrous consequences on the viability of the individual

Explanation:

The genome can be defined as the genetic material of an organism, which is composed of DNA molecules named chromosomes whose building blocks are four different nucleotides: Adenine, Thymine, Cysotcine and Guanine. The order of these nucleotides specifies the information contained in the chromosomes and, ultimately, in the genome. The genes, which are recognized to be the basic units of inheritance, are genetic sequences composed of ordered nucleotides along the chromosomes. During transcription, a gene encodes different RNA codons (for example, start and stop codons) which are specified by the order of the nucleotide sequence. Finally, the order of the RNA codons will be critical to specify the polypeptide chain during the translation from RNA to protein.
